What Irma Ayala doesn't like about Café Tizón:
The coffee I enjoyed. The chicken tamal not so much. I ordered two. The tamales were cold and not to die for honestly. Both tamales were brown, the chicken was brown like it was past due. This isn’t a place I would go to eat tamales. Service: Dine in Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: $10–20 Food: 2 Recommended dishes: Tamales View all feedback. What Athena Contreras likes about Café Tizón:
Came here to pick up some tamales and had a great time. The tamales are absolutely to die for!! Their champurrado is also phenomenal!! If I visit LA again, I am 100% visiting this place for breakfast again. Service: Take out Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: $1–10 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Tamales View all feedback.

This place has the best tamales. They are stuffed with so much filling and the masa has sauce mixed into it so it is not flavorless. If you want a delicious tam...
